Any messages from festival?  Did you start festival as "festival --server"?

It's possible the server is rejecting connections because of host name issues.
If so, it'd say something to that effect.

Try "telnet localhost 1314" and see what happens.  If the server is running
properly it'll let you connect.  If it does, try typing something like
 (SayText "Hello, World")
and see what it does.
